A key feature of the finished building is the intricate heritage-inspired, street-level brick arches from ground level to Level 9, using more than 300,000 handmade bricks that seamlessly transition to a glass and steel tower. During the early construction stages, the builder proposed to the client an alternative to the original façade design of precast hybrid solution to using a full brickwork façade.  The complexity of the change in façade materials required the builder to source industry-best specialist contractors, along with supervision and consultation with the consultant engineer, sub-contractor and tradesmen to ensure the required result was achieved. Once a shortlist was selected, the tendering bricklaying contractors constructed prototypes off site. The builder, architect and client were all involved in inspecting and evaluating all protypes before engaging the most capable bricklaying contractor to undertake the showcase brickwork facades and, in turn, taking the brick facades off the critical path of the construction program.  The result is a credit to the builder and his team, the dedicated and highly skilled bricklayers, engineers and brick manufacturers who have all helped to produce such detailed understated and stylish brickwork not seen in Sydney for many years.
